neutral · AI labelView post →Movie recommendation for tonight, Memories of Murder Still my favourite Bong Joon-ho movie, and starring one of my favourite actors ever, Song Kang-ho, this is a god damn masterpiece that follows a trio of cops investigating one of the most infamous serial killers in South Korean history
positive · AI labelView post →On the other hand, it's a Bong Joon-ho movie, and he hasn't made a dud yet, even if I did prefer Snowpiercer, or Memories of Murder
positive · AI labelView post →My ★★★★ review of Memories of Murder boxd.it/bi9k6r Almost two seperate cop movies. Begins with over-the-top comic ineptitude. Finishes brilliantly as powerhouse of ethical ambiguity. Great performances grow deeper & tension escalates as film progresses. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 1073

Never afraid to take big swing, even less successful films have more wit & creativity than a truckload of Hollywood features. 03 Memories of Murder 06 Host 13 Snowpiercer 19 Parasite Honorable mention: MOTHER (09). #filmsky 🎥

I haven't rewatched Bong Joon Ho's second feature & breakthrough since he became a global superstar. Serial killer procedural both satiric & devastating. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 1073
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #266 "Memories of Murder" (Bong Joon Ho/2003) A fucking fantastic film! South Korean directors have a talent for delivering thrillers/police procedurals that are this damn good. Absolutely essential viewing.

neutral · AI labelView post →I hate the idea of Memories of Murder being remade in the US because that film is a very specific critique of capitalism and official corruption and incompetence in late 90s Korea. The culture it's embedded in is the point of the story. Boo to this. #kdrama 🎥 #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →This happens in film. Folks think the shitty DVDs they watched as a kid were the meta. Take Memories of Murder. Everyone thought that was saturated but in reality it's a retimed dvd master meant for CRTs. The desaturated remaster is what was intended and if you study trailers you can see that grade

positive · AI labelView post →joe you should watch Memories of Murder by Bong Joon Ho which is notionally a detective movie but is in actuality a movie about hitting the most incredible dropkicks at the most unpredictable moments. there's a dropkick that almost gets a guy retired on the spot. there's a dropkick from atop a hill

neutral · AI labelView post →Memories of Murder is a very unsettling movie that definitely gave me that feeling of uncertainty and dread when I watched it for it really manages to creep you out in terms of what it offers with it's mystery and psychological horror elements that make us realize the horrors of corrupt institutions
positive · AI labelView post →I'm half-watching Bong Joon-ho's The Host while I write today. I don't think it's his best film (Parasite? Memories of Murder? gosh, what a filmmaker), but it might be my favorite and is definitely the one I return to most often. What a wonderful, nearly perfect monster movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's feature for Korean Movie Week is Bong Joon-ho's Memories of Murder (2003). I forgot to make my post in time so @xshike.bsky.social and I are about halfway through already and really enjoying it so far! Loving the blend of comedy in a serious film as well.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Host. 2006. Dir: Bong Joon Ho. Between Memories of Murder & Mother, BJH made this delightfully insane monster movie — all his sociopolitical, family & class divide tropes are still at the core — but ultimately what we’ve got here is a giant salamander hunting people for food #shocktober #horror
neutral · AI labelView post →The number 1 movie in the NYTimes top hundred movies of the 21st century is Bong Joon Ho's Parasite. A good flick, but if they had to have BJH, they should have picked Memories of Murder. It's a better flick.
positive · AI labelView post →For day 132 of my year long retrospective on made for TV movies that need a DVD/Blu Ray release, I chose the first original Lifetime TVM, Memories of Murder (1990). Nancy Allen is an amnesiac who regains her memory only to find that she's in a bad marriage & Vanity (!) is stalking her! Wacky and fun
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatched MEMORIES OF MURDER today. Song Kang-ho's dropkick when he meets the Seoul detective is one of the most perfect physical acts ever captured on film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Save the Green Planet not being lauded with the likes of Old Boy, Memories of Murder and other South Korean heavy-hitters from the early 00s will forever be a stain on us as species. This film should have been huge. #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →I still think its nuts that Korean film legend Song Kang-ho (of Parasite, A Taxi Driver, and Memories of Murder) has a silent cameo as a North Korean soldier in The Interview (the James Franco/Seth Rogen movie about Kim Jong-un) Such a random role and film to see him in lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Memories of Murder from Bong Joon-ho. Never before or since have I been so viscerally unsettled by a movie. Still one of the best films I’ve ever seen tho
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Bong Joon-ho’s Memories of Murder (2003). Song Kang-ho has the most expressive face, as evidenced in both this film and Parasite (2019). #films #FilmSky 🎥🎬 #NowWatching

positive · AI labelView post →Took advantage of the long bus trip to rewatch Memories of Murder (it's available on Arte). What an incredible movie. Gloomy darkness with a touch of comedy that reminds me of Kitano (spoiler alert: read the article after seeing the movie)
positive · AI labelView post →Spooktober sleeper: ‘The Wailing (곡성)’ is a masterpiece of Folk Horror With Korean Characteristics, including some of the most evocative presentation of magic ritual I have ever seen on film. For best effect, see it •after• watching the noir masterpiece ‘Memories of Murder (살인의 추억)’.
neutral · AI labelView post →Parasite is great. If you like it, I'd recommend Memories of Murder (if you haven't already seen it) , another film by the same director Bong Joon Ho. More of a crime thriller but similar vibes, it's great!
neutral · AI labelView post →Memories of Murder Made by the same director as Parasite, I like this horror thriller better, tbh. Two girls go missing and the film explores the investigation into their deaths. Drama, horror, true crime nuts would enjoy this one, I think. m.imdb.com/title/tt0353...
positive · AI labelView post →I don’t know what people expected from a science fiction movie directed by fucking Bong Joon-ho. You really thought the man that directed Parasite, Snowpiercer and Memories Of Murder wouldn’t include political subtext in his latest film? Maybe reviewing movies just isn’t for you.

positive · AI labelView post →Better yet, do a double feature of it and a Bong Joon Ho film in the collection like Memories of Murder. That won't certainly result in severe tonal whiplash.

positive · AI labelView post →Based on the real-life Hwaseong Serial Killer who brutally murdered 15 South Korean girls and women, "The Scarecrow" covers much of the same ground as Bong Joon-ho’s 2003 film Memories of Murder. But this K-drama more than holds its own, adding fictional twists to keep viewers engaged and guessing.

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched [Memories of Murder](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0353969/) again last night and that's maybe my favourite film ever so I guess that counts on a technicality! Best *new* (to me) film I've watched recently was [The Life of Chuck](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12908150/) (in October last year). It was a beautiful, life-affirming film that left me feeling very emotional and contemplative for at least a week after I'd seen it. I have been thinking about watching it again this year,…
positive · AI labelView post →For a movie that isn't really a kicking movie, there are a lot of sweet kicks in "Memories of Murder".
